Atom Smashing Tube Generates Much Power From Stanford
Stanford scientists built a vacuum tube that generates high power to run a new atom smasher. The device handles 15 million watts or 20,000 horsepower and sends ultra fast electric pulses along the accelerator to break atomic materials. The design resembles a fire piston with a large air-pump opening to form a vacuum.
